Episode recap

Task: Write a 280-380 word episode recap for The Rookie S6E9 (The Squeeze).
Constraint 1: Use ONLY verifiable facts from the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES.
Constraint 2: Do not invent/guess titles, names, dates, etc.
Constraint 3: If a detail is not in the material, omit it.
Constraint 4: Write original, neutral, encyclopedic prose in plain text.
Constraint 5: No markdown, no asterisks, no headings, no bullet points.
Constraint 6: Word count target: 280-380 words.
Synopsis: Officer Nolan and Celina take on a special case; Monica enlists help to identify her attackers; Lopez and Harper discover a connection to the trail of crimes.
Sources:
[1] Series title: The Rookie. Overview: John Nolan is a small-town guy starting over.
[2] IMDb: General commentary (not useful for plot).
[3] Deadline: Tru Valentino promoted to series regular in Season 5. Studio info.
[4/5] Wikipedia: Created by Alexi Hawley for ABC. Stars Nathan Fillion, Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Titus Makin Jr., Mercedes Mason, Melissa O'Neil, Eric Winter, Afton Williamson, Mekia Cox, Shawn Ashmore, Jenna Dewan, Tru Valentino, Lisseth Chavez, and Deric A.
Episode: Season 6, Episode 9, "The Squeeze".
Plot Point 1: Officer Nolan and Celina work on a special case.
Plot Point 2: Monica seeks assistance to identify individuals who attacked her.
Plot Point 3: Lopez and Harper find a connection related to a trail of crimes.
The synopsis is extremely brief.
The word count requirement is 280-380 words.
Problem: If I only use the provided facts, I cannot reach 280 words without repeating myself or adding fluff/guesses, which is strictly forbidden by the instructions ("If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing").
Conflict Resolution: The prompt asks for a "grounded 280-380 word episode recap" but also says "If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess" and "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing."
In professional archiving/reference writing, if the source material is insufficient to meet a length requirement without violating the "no guessing/no inventing" rule, the archivist must prioritize accuracy over length. However, I will try to expand using the available series context (names of actors/characters) to provide a professional encyclopedic tone, but I cannot invent plot.
